Stronghold Challenges are a category of multiplayer challenges in Red Dead Redemption that involve the Stronghold game mode. The Stronghold game mode and associated challenges are part of the Liars and Cheats Pack DLC. There are seven sets of Stronghold challenges as detailed in the sections below. Completion of each rank of each challenge earns the player XP and a new title.
Player performance in the Stronghold maps added by the Myths and Mavericks DLC counts towards each of these challenges, with the exception of the Time Attacking challenges (which are specific to the original Stronghold locations).
